HELLO!
My name is Joe Colly and Im a graphic designer in Washington, D.C. I
love all aspects of design, but Im particularly fond of logo creation,
branding, typography, and interactive web and mobile work. Before
becoming a designer, I was a journalist and I believe that my writing and
editing skills benet me greatly as a visual storyteller. Please enjoy my CV
and portfolio. I look forward to working with you!
